Sylentwulf Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 http://www.electricquarter.com/gameroom.htm Not sure which forum to put this in, so feel free to move if you want. Used to be a garage long time ago (new house, we move in in april) but the previous owners added heat to this room, and built a 2 car garage. I had to put the ceiling, walls, etc... in, and build a subfloor on sloped concrete (joy). Just about done now, just need to re-arrange and tidy up, but that's an ongoing project for everyone, so I figured I would at least get some pics up and go from there since I haven't updated my pics in 1-2 years, heh. Lemme know what you think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Beautiful job, putting the consoles in the cubbyholes is a great way to hide most of the wires. I recently redid my gameroom with some shelveing for the consoles. It made a lot more room but the jungle of wires is ridiculous with 19 consoles all hooked to 1 TV, not to mention the PC/Moniter/Scanner/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Those cabinets look great. Good idea for a permanent arrangement of them. Watch out for sun fade on the boxes. I ended up making some pretty heavy duty curtains from denim so my boxes would not get faded. Looks like a great place to spend some relax time! Great job.

candiru Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Very nice. I love looking at peoples' gamerooms. Your plans look fairly similar to some of the things I've drawn up for when I finish the rest of the house and can start on the basement. Now I feel all motivated.

a_gurno Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Re: Fade: You can get some (tinted? Ionized? Some kind of treated...) glass for 'cabinet doors' that protects the items under it from fading. Quality framing uses it for valuable documents or easy faders, like newspapers. Of course, you'd have to add doors to your shelves, but it's an idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You and me both candiru! When I get out of the military, I'm gonna build something to that nature, except there's gonna be a tv in the middle, to play everything. I can't wait to get out of the military...

dvdguy Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Totally sweet! But dude, you gotta upgrade that TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 That looks great. The multi system set up you have is my favorite part. I especially like the incredibly rare black door game that you included in your pictures. Someone asked about tint--you can get cheap UV tint shield similar to what many blockbusters have in their windows that goes on like contact paper, but you're better off doing what Cassidy suggested as direct light will still pass through UV windows and the contact paper can be messy to remove if you ever want to move. Some window companies do sell UV shielded glass specifically to protect things like rare artwork from the harmful effects of UV light, but they are very expensive.

kollektorking Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Excellent job! The room looks great, definitly a motivator for me to start on my room. Thanks for the inspiration! kollektorking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylentwulf Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yeah, I noticed the door picxture, heh. I just stood in one place and spun while clicking the camera to get the whole room, so you get to see the door in one photo, and the toilet in another The TV is ANCIENT - doesn't even have AV jacks. Getting a 27" this holiday season (that $90 one that's been advertised) I do most of my gaming upstairs on my bigscreen, so this TV is more of a placeholder right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shining slade Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Just out of curiousity, if you don't mind me asking, How much did it cost for the materials for that unit with the 3 drawers in the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylentwulf Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 It's all 12" pine from Home Depot. Each one has 7 or 8 6 foot boards. I think the boards are like $7-$10 each. Less than a hundred each including ALL materials (screws, wood, handles, backing, etc..) If I remember right, it was around $150 for both of the system ones. I just threw the other 2 together recently without plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
